Johncock, Phil
College and University, v66 n3 p129-37 Spr 1991
A survey of 100 universities revealed test types, cut-off scores, and processes for testing language proficiency and performance of international teaching assistants. Results indicated the tests are complicated, time-consuming, and politically sensitive. Issues emerging include department role, use of adjustment period before teaching, and relationship of tests or training to performance. (Author/MSE)
